$10,000: The Result of Certainty Over Evidence

Had a pretty incredible experience this weekend that I wanted to share.

I’ve been listening to Your Invisible Power by Genevieve Behrend while walking- lots of focus on visualization and faith in outcomes before you see proof. Yesterday, I was checking the numbers on a Super Bowl box pool I had entered. The top prize was $10,000.

This past month hit hard with unexpected expenses- a pool heater failure and an underground pipe leak- so as the game went on, I started visualizing something very specific: paying those bills off and feeling the relief of having them behind me.

My numbers didn’t hit for the 1st quarter, halftime, or 3rd quarter. Honestly, it didn’t look promising for the final score either… but there was a path. So I stopped focusing on the game and stayed focused on the outcome- those bills paid, that weight lifted.

With three minutes left, I looked up. The score was 29–13.

Those were my numbers.

I paced. I held the vision. The game ended. I won the $10,000.

Still wrapping my head around it, but it reinforced for me how holding the end state with certainty, even when interim results don’t line up, can collapse the timeline on outcomes.

Feeling incredibly grateful. 🙏✨
